Why Take This Course?

📣 CALLING ALL cartoonists, comic book artists, game designers, and cinema geeks!

This class will dissect what makes a good story great aesthetically, and how intentional design makes that happen in visual narrative media.

For cartoonists, comic book artists, game designers, and cinema geeks, this is a crash introduction, or excellent refresher, for how to make our stories look AND feel compelling. We will be investigating shape design, costume design, and worldbuilding philosophies to see how these elements come together to create the universes we love so dearly, and learn how to build our own worlds along the way. 

Students will learn to design dynamic characters, costumes, environments, creatures, and props in order to flesh out fictional universes. Students apply what they’ve learned to build their own pitch decks, walking away with a personal, ready to roll IP (Intellectual Property).

This course is recommended for enthusiastic beginners to experienced visual artists.

Amy Bechtol

Amy Bechtol is a neurodivergent individual, educator, and activist. Six years ago she thought it would be fun to volunteer teach for a week as a break from entertainment design work, and accidentally found her passion. Amy has worked in neurodivergent and twice-exceptional education ever since, covering a wide breadth of topics from the humanities, to the sciences, to the visual arts. Her background as an entertainment designer and storyteller informs her teaching practices, finding ways to make content relevant to human experiences.

Amy loves getting to work with her students, who often share a neurology similar to her own, connecting them to curriculum in a way that is meaningful, novel, and fun. Utilizing a strength-based, talent-focused model, Amy seeks to engage learners by allowing them to connect their best, most authentic selves to the material. She believes that a state of growth is the natural state of a human mind, and it is the purpose of a classroom to facilitate that process, and allow it to be a joyful one.
